Thanks amit V8 & dhrishikesh , Yes, its an excellent model , no the suspension doesnt work, but the detailing is good as you can see. I do always believe in having a varied collection of all types especially the not so very exotic, but some thing we can identify ourselves with. This is from the Czech Republic. I am not aware of it being available in India.

Yea but unfortunately India doesn't have an Ikea yet and the case is too heavy to bring down to India. I believe you can get one made for about 10k over here. I was thinking of getting one made but now after some thought I decided its probably a good idea not to display all my models to avoid everything looking too cluttered. I want to get something like what Mav posted.

Both the Pullman and the 300 SEL are available on Scale 18.com

Scale18 - 1/18 Scale Diecast Cars - Browse

Looks like you're really getting into collecting models. It's great to have another collector on board. Where are you located? Cochin/London?

There is a model of the smart available. Maisto and Minichamps make it IIRC.

I recently purchased 1937 studebaker Pickup truck from signature collection. I just loved the shape, those beautiful wheel caps, beautiful head lights and all.

Wait till I do full photography. Meanwhile pic from Internet

I bought it from Sapphire (@ Brigade road Bangalore). Earlier they had plenty of GOOD Vintage & Classic Models from Signature in 1:24 scale, well now none, my bad i din't picked up them.

Model Art disappoints me they don't have the models I require
